The Soul Sessions - Joss Stone
For an old folk like me it’s embarrassing to admit that I’m a fan of an 18-year old female singer, but I’ve found myself helplessly captivated by the rich and soulful voice of JOSS STONE.
I’m so out of touch with the pop culture that I’ve never heard of Joss Stone until I read about this 18-year old small-town singer from England in this Sunday’s newspaper. Just out of curiosity, last night I downloaded her second album, The Soul Sessions, on Rhapsody, a RealNetworks online music service. As soon as it started playing, I was under the musical spell of her voice. I thought of Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin during some of her renditions.
The album was also very well produced for rock and roll fans. It keeps the instrumentals as simple as the way it should be. I thought, instead of an orchestra, the best and the only way that rock and roll should be played is by a small 5-pc band consists of drum, guitar, bass, keyboard, and vocal.
A very impressive and memorable effort in her second album.
